Mineral  Department 
California  Commission  for  the 

Paris  Exposition  of  1878. 


introduction. 

The  California  Commission  for  the  Paris  Exposition  of  1878 
had  its  origin  in  a  pubHc  meeting  of  citizens,  which  issued  an 
address  to  the  people  of  California,  setting  forth  the  advantages 
to  the  State  that  would  result  from  an  exhibit  of  the  various 
agricultural,  mechanical,  mineral  and  art  productions  of  the 
Pacific  Coast.  Committees  in  the  different  departments  were 
appointed,  who  assumed  their  duties  cheerfully.  Much  pro- 
gress was  made  by  these  committees.  The  Commission  was 
warmly  supported  by  the  Press,  and  was  popular  throughout 
the  State.  It  was  supposed  that  all  its  varied  resources  would 
be  shown  in  such  a  manner  as  to  place  California  in  the  posi- 
tion it  deserves  before  the  world. 

As  the  work  progressed,  it  was  found  that  a  considerable  sum 
of  money  would  be  required  to  carry  out  the  plans  of  the  various 
committees,  and  it  was  decided  to  make  an  application  to  the 
Legislature  of  the  State,  then  in  session,  for  the  necessary  funds. 
Much  time  was  lost  while  awaiting  the  action  of  that  body. 
The  Legislature  declining  to  make  the  appropriation  asked,  it 
was  found  to  be  too  late  to  provide  other  means  for  completing 
the  work. 

Considerable  progress  having  been  made  in  the  Mineral 
Department,  and  funds  being  generously  placed  at  its  disposal 
by  a  public  spirited  citizen,  it  was  decided  to  make  the  collec- 
tion as  complete  as  possible,  and  to  send  it  forward. 


IV 


It  is  due  to  the  other  committees  to  say  that  had  they  been 
able  to  carry  out  their  plans,  their  exhibits  would  have  been  of 
equal,  if  not  of  greater  interest  to  the  world,  for  it  is  not  gener- 
ally known  how  immense  our  resources — other  than  mineral — 
really  are,  while  California  as  a  great  mineral  producing  State 
is  known  far  and  wide. 

In  making  an  exhibit  of  minerals  and  mineral  products,  it 
was  thought  best  to  include  the  whole  Pacific  Coast,  as  Califor- 
nia capital  is  largely  invested  in  the  mines  of  the  other  states, 
and  most  of  the  offices  of  mining  companies  are  at  San  Francisco. 

PACIFIC     STATES. 

The  Pacific  States  are  generally  understood  to  be  those  which 
look  to  the  Pacific  sea  coast  cities  for  their  supplies,  and  which 
are  dependent  for  capital  on  those  cities.  They  may  be  enum- 
erated as  follows  :  California,  Oregon,  Washington,  Utah,  Ne- 
vada, Arizona,  Idaho  and  Alaska.  Montana,  Wyoming,  Colo- 
rado and  New  Mexico  hold  a  middle  position,  but  look  more  to 
the  East  for  their  supplies,  and  send  their  products  in  that 
direction  more  than  to  the  Western  sea  board. 

Some  of  the  Pacific  States  are  noted  for  their  fertile  agricul- 
tural lands,  and  others  for  their  mineral  wealth.  All  are  capable 
of  supporting  a  large  population,  and  the  climate  is  such  that 
manufactures  can  be  carried  on  to  great  advantage. 

California  has  a  sea  coast  of  700  miles  in  length,  embracing 
9  degrees  of  latitude  ;  the  mean  width  of  the  State  is  about  200 
miles.  It  has  an  area  of  nearly  16,000  square  miles;  greater 
than  New  England,  New  York  and  Pennsylvania  combined  ; 
two  chains  of  mountains,  parallel  to  the  general  trend  of  the 
sea  coast,  extend  its  entire  length.  The  Sierra  Nevada  chain 
is  the  great  back-bone,  so  to  speak.  The  rain  falling  on  these 
mountains  divides  at  the  summit,  one  portion  finding  its  way 
to  the  Pacific  ocean,  the  other  flowing  into  the  great  basin, 
where  it  either  sinks  into  the  loose,  sandy  soil,  or  spreads  out 
into  lakes  of  greater  or  less  magnitude,  which  are  kept  in  a  state 


of  equilibrium  by  evaporation.  The  Coast  Range  is  a  low  chain 
of  mountains  running  near  the  sea  coast,  as  the  name  indicates^ 
In^the  Southern  part  of  the  State  a  third  chain  of  mountains 
lies  East  of  the  Sierra  Nevada,  separated  from  it  by  a  narrow 
valley  ; — they  are  called  the  Inyo  mountains.  They  differ  from 
other  mountains  of  California,  in  being  highly  argentiferous 
Owens  Valley,  which  separates  them  from  the  Sierra  Nevada,  is 
remarkable  for  its  nearly  equal  width,  and  great  length,  extend- 
ing as  it  does  for  loo  miles  in  a  direction  somewhat  West  of 
North.  The  mountains  both  East  and  West  of  Owens  Valley 
are  the  highest  in  the  State,  and  some  of  the  peaks  the  highest 
in  North  America.  Mount  Whitney  reaches  an  altitude  of 
15,000  feet.  This  celebrated  mountain  is  surrounded  by  at 
least  100  peaks,  all  of  which  are  over  13,000  feet  in  height. 

San  Francisco  possessing,  the  great  sea  port  of  the  Western 
Coast,  and  being  the  terminus  of  the  various  railroad  lines,  can 
and  does  furnish  the  mines  with  their  principal  supplies,  while 
San  Francisco  mechanics  employ  a  large  number  of  workmen 
in  the  manufacture  of  mining  machinery,  in  which  branch  of 
workmanship  they  cannot  be  excelled.  On  the  other  hand, 
most  of  the  product  of  the  mines  finds  its  way  to  San  Francisco, 
from  whence  it  is  sent  to  all  parts  of  the  world. 

The  fact  that  San  Francisco  Bay  is  the  only  perfect  sea  port 
from  Acapulco  to  the  Straits  of  Fuca,  gives  to  California  a  great 
commercial  advantrge  over  her  sister  States.  Add  to  this 
her  equable  climate,  her  boundless  natural  resources,  and  the 
future  greatness  of  the  State  cannot  be  questioned. 

California  owes  her  present  greatness  to  the  accidental  dis- 
covery of  gold  in  1848.  The  presence  of  gold  in  California 
had  been  suspected,  if  not  actually  known,  for  many  years.  It 
is  well  known  that  gold  bearing  quartz  was  worked  by  a  French- 
man named  Baric,  at  a  locality  near  the  Mission  of  San  Fer- 
nando as  early  as  1843.  Placer  gold  in  moderate  quantities 
had  been  found  at  a  still  earlier  period,  but  the  discovery  of 
rich  placers  at  Sutter's  Mill  by  Marshall,  in  1848,  may  be  re- 
garded as  the  New  Era. 


VI 


This  discovery  caused  a  flood  of  population  to  the  State 
from  every  part  of  the  world.  No  doubt  the  vast  agricultural 
resources  of  California  would  have  eventually  attracted  a  large 
population  even  had  gold  been  unknown,  but  a  longer  time 
would  have  been  required  to  effect  it. 

The  following  figures,  furnished  by  the  Journal  of  Com?nerce 
of  San  Francisco,  will  convey  some  idea  of  the  agricultural  pro- 
ducts of  the  State : 

Wheat  crop  from  1855  to  1877,  inclusive,  22  years, 
195,595,000  centals. 

Barley  crop  from  1862  to  1876,  inclusive,  15  years, 
57»350'Ooo  centals. 

Of  Corn,  (Maize),  from  1870  to  1877,  inclusive,  8 
years,  the  product  was    5,990,000  centals. 

The  Wheat  crop  of  1877  was  12,895.000  centals,  val- 
ued at  $26,000,000. 

The  yield  of  the  Vintage  of  1877  was  8,000,000  gallons 
of  wine. 

The  yield  of  Wool  in  CaHfornia  from  1854  to  1876, 
inclusive,  23  years,  was  384,061,145  pounds. 
Total  product  of  the  entire  Pacific  Coast  for  the 
same  period  ,452,011,145  pounds,  valued  at  $86,- 
500,000.  The  yield  for  the  year  1877  was  53,- 
110,742  pounds,  valued  at  $9,500,000. 

The  commercial  importance  of  California  may  be  seen  by 
the  following  statistics  from  the  same  source. 

Total  population  of  the  Pacific  Coast,  1,650,000. 
Population  of  California,  938,000. 
Population  of  San  Francisco,  308,215. 
Custom  dues  collected  in  1877,  $6,692,432  56. 
Total  imports,  1877,  $75,713,272. 
Total  exports,  1877,  $61,911,237.' 
Immigrants  arrived,  1877,  62,171. 
Emigrants  departed,  1877,  45,257.

The  gold  bearing  belt  of  California  known  as  the  great 
mother  vein,  commences  in  Kern  county,  and  extends  through 
the  following  counties  :  Tulare,  Fresno^  Mariposa,  Tuolumne, 
Calaveras,  Amador,  El  Dorado,  Placer,  Nevada,  Sierra,  Plumas 
and  Shasta. 

All  the  noted  mines  of  California  lie  along  this  belt.  The 
lithological  character  of  the  formation  is  peculiar,  and  is  easily 
recognized  by  mining  men  and  prospectors.  It  is  so  metamor- 
phic  in  its  character  that  its  geological  age  is  not  with  certainty 
known.  No  fossils  have  been  found,  except  on  the  Mariposa 
Estate,  in  Mariposa  County.  For  a  description  of  these,  which 
are  undoubtedly  Jurassic,  reference  may  be  made  to  the  Geo- 
logical Survey  of  California,  Geology,  Vol.  i.  Folio  226. 

The  circumstances  under  which  these  fossils  were  found,  the 
few  specimens  obtained,  and  the  metamorphic  character  of  the 
formation  in  which  they  occur,  scarcely  warrant  the  assumption 
that  the  entire  belt  is  of  Jurassic  age.  The  gold  bearing  rocks 
of  California  afford  an  interesting  field  for  future  geological 
investigation. 

MINING. 

Mining,  as  practiced  in   California,   may  be  divided  into 
three  distinct  classes. 
Placer  Mining. 
Hydraulic  Mining. 
Working  of  Mineral  Veins. 

When  gold  was  first  discovered,  it  was  sought  only  in  the 
beds  of  rivers,  on  the  bars  and  shoals  formed  by  the  currents 
and  eddies  of.  swift  running  mountain  streams.     The  first  appli- 


Vlll 


ances  were  rude  and  imperfect.  Still  gold  was  so  abundant, 
that  large  quantities  were  collected  by  simply  washing  pansfuU 
of  the  rich  earth,  and  by  what  was  called  "crevicing,"  which  is 
seeking  depressions  in  the  bed  rock  and  taking  from  them,  by 
the  simple  process  of  removal,  the  accumulation  of  years  with 
a  knife  or  other  instrument,  and  washing  it  in  an  iron  pan,  at 
the  rnargin  of  some  convenient  stream. 

Gradually  the  bars  were  worked  out  and  the  gold  was 
sought  in  the  alluvial  deposits,  on  the  borders  of  the  rivers, 
sometimes  with  success,  but  often  otherwise. 

As  these  deposits  contained  less  gold  than  those  first  dis- 
covered in  the  beds  of  streams,  labor-saving  machinery  was 
required,  that  larger  quautities  might  be  subjected  to  the  wash- 
ing process.  This  want  led  to  the  introduction  of  the  cradle, 
long  tom,  and  the  sluice  with  its  improvements,  such  as  the 
block-riffles,  zigzags,  undercurrents,  &c. 

When  these  deposits  failed  or  were  found  less  profitable, 
hydraulic  mining  naturally  followed,  as  an  improvement  on  all 
other  methods  of  collecting  Placer  gold. 

Only  under  the  following  conditions  is  hydraulic  mining 
practicable. 

I  St.  The  alluvial  auriferous  earth,  no  matter  what  its  depth 
may  be,  must  be  moved  to  the  bed  rock. 

2d.  A  channel  must  be  made  with  sufficient  fall,  by  which 
an  unlimited  quantity  of  the  refuse  or  tailings  may  be  carried 
away. 

3d.  A  sufficient  supply  of  water  to  keep  the  tailings  in  mo- 
tion in  the  sluice,  and  to  carry  away  all  the  earth  after  it  is 
disintegrated  by  the  stream  from   the    hydraulic  nozzle. 

4th.  A  constant  stream  of  water  from  a  reservoir,  sufficiently 
high  to  give  the  requisite  force  to  wash  away  the  bank  and 
disintegrate  the  deposit. 

This  system  of  mining,  is  not  only  very  profitable,  but  pro- 
duces large  quantities  of  gold  annually  from  deposits  which 
would  otherwise  be  worthless.

The  following  statement,  from  published  statistics  on  this 
subject,  will  show  the  great  advantage  of  this  system  over 
others  : 

Cost  of  moving  a  cubic  yard  of  gravel,  miners'  wages  being 
$4  per  day  : 

With  the  Pan $20  00 

"        Rocker 5  00 

"        Long  Tom i  00 

"        Hydraulic  System ...      o  05 

Some  of  the  Hydraulic  mines  are  worked  in  California  on 
an  immense  scale,  very  large  sums  of  money  being  invested  for 
years  before  any  return  is  possible. 

Vein  mining  is  conducted  in  California  and  other  Pacific 
States,  much  as  it  is  elsewhere.  The  country  being  new,  and 
labor  high,  advantage  is  taken  of  every  form  of  labor-saving 
machinery.  According  to  the  best  authorities,  the  Pacific 
Coast  is  not  behind  other  parts  of  the  world  in  carrying  out  its 
gigantic  mining  operations. 

YIELD    OF    THE    PRECIOUS    METALS. 

The  following,  from  statistics  furnished  by  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Journal  of  Commerce,  shows  the  total  yield  of  gold  and 
silver  during  the  last  29  years:

Dear  Sir  :  The  following  is  a  corrected  copy  of  our  annual 
statement  of  precious  metals  produced  in  the  States  and  Terri- 
tories west  of  the  Missouri  River,  including  British  Columbia, 
and  receipts  in  San  Francisco  from  the  West  Coast  of  Mexico, 
during  1877,  which  shows  an  aggregate  result  of  $98,421,754, 
being  an  excess  of  $7,546,581  over  1876,  the  greatest  previous 
annual  yield  in  the  history  of  the  country.  Arizona,  Colorado, 
Idaho,  Nevada,  New  Mexico,  Oregon,  Utah  and  Washington 
increase  ;  British  Columbia,  California  and  Montana  decrease  ; 
but  it  is  possible  the  falling  off  in  Montana  is  more  apparent 
than  real.  In  our  statement  for  1876,  Dakota  (Black  Hills) 
was  not  mentioned.  That  territory  is  included  herein,  credited 
with  $1,500,000  gold,  but  the  estimate  is  uncertain,  as  $950,000 
is  the  total  amount  carried  out  of  it  during  the  year  by  all  ex- 
press companies  and  mails.  The  amount  named  as  carried 
by  other  conveyances  from  Dakota  is  conjecture.  If  the  Com- 
stock  mines  yield  as  much  in  1878  as  during  the  present  year, 
the  aggregate  product  oi  silver  and  gold  from  all  sources  named, 
will  approximate  one  hundred  millions  of  dollars.

We  have  used  the  utmost  care  and  diHgence  in  ascertaining 
the  character  of  bulHon  and  ores  reported,  with  the  following 
result:  the  yield  of  the  Comstock  mines  is  45%  gold;  of  the 
whole  bullion  product  of  Nevada,  37%  is  gold;  and  of  all  so- 
called  silver  or  base  bullion,  28%  is  gold.  The  gross  yield  for 
1877,  shown  above,  segregated,  is,  in  round  numbers,  as  follows : 

Lead,  5% $  5.085,250 

Silver,  48% 47,206,957 

Gold,  47% 46,129,547 

$98,421,754 

As  lead  is  an  important  element  in  what  is  herein  termed 
base  bullion,  we  might  add  that  of  Missouri  and  Illinois,  value 
approximately  $1,500,000;  which,  with  the  silver  and  gold  of 
the  Lake  Superior  country,  Virginia  and  North  and  South 
Carolina,  amount  say  $500,000,  would  swell  the  gross  product 
to  over  $100,000,000  for  the  year.  The  lead  product  of  Utah, 
Nevada  and  California,  exceeds  that  of  the  remainder  of  the 


Xll 


United  States  and  Territories  combined  ;  and  in  tonnage,  is 
greater  this  year  than  ever  before,  though  not  exceeding  in 
value  that  of  1876,  the  average  price  having  been  lower  than 
for  many  years  past. 

In  our  statement  for  1876,  the  amount  credited  to  British 
Columbia  and  West  Coast  of  Mexico,  were  inadvertently  carried 
into  the  totals  credited  to  the  United  States,  in  the  estimates

We  are  uninformed  as  to  the  annual  exports  of  silver  to 
India,  China  and  the  Straits  previous  to  1851,  but  assume  that 
they  were  less  than  since  that  date,  which  being  so,  the  exports 
this  year  are  the  greatest  known,  viz  :  $105,000,000  to  the  26th 
instant.  The  greatest  amount  in  former  years  was  $83,650,000, 
in  1857.  The  amounts  exported  during  the  present  year,  were 
approximately  as  follows:  From  Southampton,  $80,000,000; 
from  San  Francisco,  $19,000,000  ;  from  Marseilles,  $4,000,000  ; 
from  Venice,  $2,000,000. 

We  take  plasure  in  acknowledging  the  prompt  responses  of 
persons  applied  to  for  information,  and  to  whose  cordial  co- 
operation we  are  indebted  for  much  of  the  data  necessary  to 
our  compilations.  J  no.  J.  Valentine,

Gold  and  silver  are  not  the  only  mineral  products  of  the 
Pacific  Coast.     The  Quicksilver  interests  are  of  very  great  im- 


Xlll 


portance,  Mercury  being  an  essential  in  the  extraction  of  gold 
and  silver,  for  which  purpose  it  is  largely  used  in  the  State. 
Besides  which,  great  quantities  are  exported. 

There  are  a  number  of  Quicksilver  mines  in  the  State  which 
are  paying  handsome  dividends  on  the  capital  invested. 

The  principal  mines  of  Quicksilver,  are  enumerated  in  the

The  Quicksilver  Mines  and  Reduction  works  of  New  Alma- 
den  are  fifteen  miles  south  of  the  city  of  San  Jose,  Santa  Clara 
County,  California,  in  the  Santa  Cruz  Mountains,  at  an  elevation 
of  1,700  feet  above  the  sea. 

These  mines  were  first  worked  for  (quicksilver  in  1845,  but 
the  operations  were  on  a  small  scale,  and  no  record  exists  earlier 
than  1850.  They  have  been,  and  are  now,  the  most  productive 
quicksilver  mines  in  the  world,  excepting  only  the  mine  of  Al- 
maden  in  Spain.  They  are  developed  to  a  depth  of  1,300  feet, 
and  the  workings  extend  horizontally,  somewhat  in  the  shape  of 
the  letter  Y. 

Between  five  and  six  hundred  men  find  steady  employment 
— the  work  being  actively  prosecuted  throughout  the  year. 
From  the  first  of  January,  1864,  to  the  thirty-first  of  December, 
1875,  the  number  of  feet  of  drifting  and  sinking  on  the  mines 
of  the  Company,  as  shown  by  the  records,  amounted  to  129,724 
feet,  or  26.24  niiles,  at  ^  cost  of  $1,000,000.  This  does  not  in- 
clude the  excavations  made  in  extracting  ore  during  the  period 
named,  nor  any  expenses  for  the  same. 

In  1875  there  were  used  in  the  mines  2,361  kegs  of  black 
powder  (25  lbs.  each),  and  9,350  lbs.  of  Ciiant  and  Hercules 
powder — the  rock  in  most  cases  requiring  to  be  drilled  and 
blasted.  At  the  close  of  the  same  year,  about  five  miles  of 
railroad,  underground,  were  in  operation,  and  over  2,000  drills 
were  in  active  use. 

The  reduction  works  consist  of  nine  furnaces,  and  include 
the  most  improved  methods  for  working  quicksilver  ores.  When 
the  present  improvements  are  finished,  they  may  be  considered 
as  most  complete  and  perfect  in  every  respect. 

\ 

BASE    BULLION. 

The  product  of  lead  and  base  bullion  is  an  important  inter- 
est. By  base  bullion  is  understood  crude  lead,  in  which  the 
silver  and  gold  contained  in  the  ores  from  which  it  is  smelted 
still  remains.     It  must  be  refined  before  it  becomes  an  article 


XVI 


of  general  commerce.     Part  of  this  xork  is  done  at  extensive 
metallurgical  works  in   San  Francisco,  Sacramento  and  Contra 
Costa,  while  large  quantities  are  sent  abroad  for  treatment. 
The  following  is  a  statement  for  the  year  1877  :

COAL. 

True  coal  is  unknown  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  but  lignites  and 
brown  coal  are  abundant.  Some  of  the  brown  coals  are  of  good 
quality,  and  answer  many  purposes,  such  as  making  steam, 
household  use,  etc.     The  want  of  first  class  coal  has  been  a  se- 


XVll 


rious  drawback  when  extensive  manufacturing  enterprises  have 
been  proposed.  A  large  quantity  of  coal  is  imported  into  the 
State  annually.  I'he  discovery  of  carboniferous  rocks  in  Cali- 
fornia, Nevada  and  Arizona,  leads  to  the  hope  that  beds  of  true 
coal  may  eventually  be  found. 

The  number  of  tons  of  Pacific  Coast  coal  raised  during  the 
last  1 8  years  is  given  below  :

BORAX. 

The  discovery  of  Boracic  Acid,  and  the  natural  borates  on 
the  Pacific  Coast,  was  made  in  January,  1856,  by  Dr.  John  A. 
Veatch,  who  was  engaged  in  making  an  analysis  of  water,  from 
Lick  Springs,  in  Tehama  County,  California.  Having  occasion 
to  evaporate  a  large  quantity  of  the  water,  he  was  surprised  to 


XVlll 


find  borax  crystallizing  out.  This  discovery  led  to  tlie  examina- 
tion of  all  the  mineral  waters  then  known,  which  resulted  in 
finding  Boracic  Acid  in  nearly  all  of  them. 

In  September  of  the  same  year,  Dr.  Veatch  discovered 
Borax  Lake.  This  lake  is  situated  in  Lake  County,  California, 
one  hundred  and  ten  miles  from  San  Francisco.  Borax  Crys- 
tals in  large  quantities  have  been  found  in  the  stratum  of  soft 
mud,  forming  the  bottom  of  the  lake.  Besides  the  crystals, 
borax  exists  in  solution  in  the  water  itself,  from  which  it  can  be 
obtained  by  evaporation. 

Borax  Lake  produced  with  profit,  from  its  discovery  until 
the  still  more  remarkable  discovery  of  the  immense  deposits  in 
Nevada  and  in  Southeastern  California,  considerable  quantities 
of  refined  Borax.  In  the  year  1865,  the  yield  was  240  tons; 
in  1866,  the  daily  average  yield  was  2^  tons. 

Boracic  Acid,  free  or  combined,  is  of  common  occurrence 
on  the  Pacific  Coast ;  it  has  been  found  in  the  waters  of  the 
Pacific  Ocean,  along  the  shores  of  California  and  Oregon. 
Common  salt,  made  by  evaporating  the  sea  water,  contains 
more  than  traces  of  Boracic  Acid. 

It  has  been  found  in  the  waters  of  Mono  and  Owens'  Lakes. 
In  all  probability,  if  an  examination  of  the  bottom  of  these 
lakes  should  be  made,  crystals  or  borax  would  be  found  in  the 
mud,  as  at  Borax  Lake. 

Very  extensive  deposits  of  Borax  have  been  found  near 
these  lakes  ;  one  company — which  is  incorporated — is  in  pos- 
session of  a  large  portion  of  what  is  known  as  Columbus  Marsh. 
This  remarkable  saline  deposit,  lies  in  the  State  of  Nevada,  in 
latitude  38°  5'  North,  and  longitude  118'  West.  As  laid  down 
on  the  State  Geological  Map,  it  is  an  irregular  oval  in  form,  ten 
miles  long,  by  seven  miles  wide.  It  is  distant  from  Mono  Lake 
46  miles,  in  a  direction  a  little  north  of  east.  It  has  evidently 
been  an  Alkaline  Lake,  much  as  Mono  Lake  is  now.  If  Mono 
Lake  did  not  continually  receive  the  melting  snows  from  the 
Sierra  Nevada,  its  bed  would  soon,  like  Columbus  Marsh,  be- 
come a  dazzling  field  of  Alkaline  salts. 

This,  and  similar  deposits,  consist  of  common  Salt,  Sul- 
phate of  Soda,  Borate  of  Lime  and  Borax. 


XIX 


The  Borate  of  Lime — Ulexite — is  found  in  rounded  concre- 
tions, from  the  size  of  peas  up  to  three  or  four  inches  in  diam- 
eter. Large  quantities  of  Borate  of  Lime  were  shipped  to  San 
Francisco,  but  it  was  found  that  the  expense  of  transportation 
was  greater  than  the  highest  price  that  could  be  obtained  in 
that  or  the  European  market.  It  was  soon  discovered  that  the 
AlkaHne  deposit,  in  which  the  Ulexite  occured,  would  yield 
Borax  if  dissolved  and  crystallized. 

The  method  now  adopted  is,  to  rake  the  deposit  into  heaps 
like  hay  cocks  in  a  meadow. 

These  are  hauled  to  the  dissolving  pans,  under  which  large 
fires  are  kept  burning.  The  impure  solutions  are  run  into  vats 
from  which  a  good  article  of  crude  Borax  crystallizes  on  cooling. 

Extensive  fields  of  Alkali,  containing  Borax  in  varying  quan- 
tities, are  known  to  exist  from  Wadsworth,  quite  to  the  State 
line  southward. 

These  deposits  have  furnished  the  product  shown  in  the 
following  table,  taken  from  the  San  Francisco  Commercial 
Herald  and  Market  Review  of  jh*ft€  17,  1878.  ^^^^^/h^^

Pacific  Coast.  In  a  country  where  the  precious  metals  are 
found,  the  mining  community  often  overlooks  the  useful  and 
less  valuable  metals.  This  has  been  the  case  on  the  Pacific 
Coast. 

Considerable  copper  has  been  shipped  from  San  Francisco  to 
Swansea  and  other  European  markets,  but  the  quantity  has  been 
small  as  compared  with  the  extent  of  the  mines  known  to  exist. 

The  most  important  copper  producing  locality  in  California, 
is  Calaveras  County;  the  mines  at  Copperopolis  were  for  a  time 


XXI 


extensively  worked.  The  yield  of  the  Union  mine,  according 
to  the  report  of  J.  Ross  Browne,  from  the  time  it  was  opened 
in  1861,  to  July  15,  1877,  was  108,731,678  pounds;  all  of 
which  was  exported  to  the  Atlantic  States  and  Europe.  The 
receipts  from  sales  of  ores  produced  by  the  Keystone  mine, 
were  $375»ooo- 

There  are  copper  mines  of  undoubted  value  in  Amador, 
Mariposa,  San  Luis  Obispo,  Los  Angeles,  Plumas,  Del  Norte, 
Contra  Costa,  Nevada  and  Inyo  counties.  In  Oregon,  copper 
occurs  in  considerable  quantities.  In  Douglas  county,  masses 
of  the  oxides  and  carbonates  of  copper  of  great  importance  are 
known  to  exist. 

Lower  California  too  is  known  to  possess  extensive  and 
valuable  copper  mines,  which  is  also  the  case  with  Nevada  and 
Arizona. 

Attention  has  lately  been  called  to  the  importance  of  cop- 
per mines  producing  large  quantities  of  low  grade  ores.  The 
San  Francisco  copper  mine  at  Spenceville,  Nevada  County, 
CaHfornia,  is  an  example.  This  mine  is  said  to  be  very  exten- 
sive, the  ore  is  cupriferous  pyrites,  very  free  from  gangue ;  the 
average  copper  in  the  ore  is  6.40  per  cent,  although  ores  may 
be  obtained  by  selection,  yielding  as  high  as  1 7  per  cent.  The 
mine  is  being  worked  «xci«sively,  and  according  to  the  state- 
ment of  the  owners,  with  profit.  The  sulphur  present  in  the 
ores  supplies  fuel  in  roasting,  which  is  done  on  a  large  scale  in 
heaps.  The  resulting  product  is  leached  with  water,  and  the 
soluble  copper  precipitated  by  metallic  iron.  The  excess  of 
sulphur  is  now  wasted,  but  eventually  it  is  intended  to  erect 
acid  chambers  and  otherwise  to  utilize  the  by-products. 

TIN. 

Tin  occurs  in  the  Temescal  Mountains,  in  San  Bernardino 
county,  California.  For  some  reason  work  has  been  suspended 
for  years  since  its  discovery,  so  that  it  is  impossible  to  say 
whether  this  metal  will  become  a  valuable  product  of  the  State 
or  not.  The  ores,  which  have  reached  San  Francisco  from 
time  to  time,  have  been  sufficiently  promising  to  warrant  the 


xxn 


opinion  that  the  question  of  value  is    one    of  quantity   rather 
than  quality. 

CHROMIC    IRON. 

Chromic  iron  is  found  in  many  localities  in  the  State  of 
California;  large  shipments  have  been  made  to  the  Eastern 
States  within  the  last  eight  or  ten  years  The  supply  may  be 
considered  practically  inexhaustible. 

PETROLEUM,  ASPHALTUM,  ETC. 

Superficial  evidences  of  the  existence  of  Petroleum  and  other 
hydro-carbons  have  long  been  observed  in  different  parts  of 
California.  Extensive  deposits  of  Asphaltum  are  found  in  the 
Southern  counties  of  the  State.  It  is  only  lately,  however, 
that  any  important  practical  results  have  been  obtained  from 
the  numerous  experiments  made  in  refining  the  crude  products. 
Much  disappointment  has  resulted  from  the  discovery  that  the 
Pacific  Coast  Petroleum  yields  but  a  small  quantity  of  light  oil 
suitable  for  burning.  But  large  quantities  of  heavy  oil,  admi- 
rably fitted  for  lubrication  and  other  purposes,  is  being  manu- 
factured in  the  State,  and  the  production  is  steadily  on  the 
increase ;  a  certain  portion  of  light  burning  oil  is  obtained,  and 
it  is  hoped  that  this  product  will  be  greater  when  more  exten- 
sive explorations  are  made.  The  imports  of  California  Petro- 
leum into  San  Francisco,  from  January  ist,  1878,  to  April  ist, 
1878,  was  72,000  gallons. 

Asphaltum  is  largely  used  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  for  roofing, 
pavements  and  in  the  manufacture  of  sewer  and  water  pipes. 

LIME,    GYPSUM   AND    CEMENT. 

Lime,  Plaster  of  Paris,  and  Cement,  are  largely  produced 
and  manufactured  in  California ;  Gypsum  occurs  in  many 
localities  in  quantity.  The  manufacture  of  calcined  plaster 
has  recently  been  added  to  the  list  of  Pacific  Coast  industries. 
The  Golden  Gate  Plaster  Mills  produce  an  article  which  is 
generally  preferred  to  that  imported. 

The  following  table  gives  the  receipts  of  California  Lime 
for  the  years  1876-77  :

IRON, 

It  is  hardly  probable  that  the  extensive  iron  deposits  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  will  be  utilized  at  present.  The  cost  of  coal, 
labor,  and  other  expenses  are  so  great,  that  capital  will  scarcely 
embark  in  iron  manufacture  while  so  many  better  paying  invest- 
ments are  to  be  found.  It  is  interesting  however,  to  know  that 
the  supply  is  unlimited  and  may  be  made  available  when  the 
wants  of  the  country  demand  its  production.  Oregon  has  found 
it  to  her  advantage  to  commence  working  her  iron  deposits  and 
the  result  is  said  to  be  satisfactory. 

DIAMONDS. 

Diamonds  have  been  found  in  California ;  they  are  gener- 
ally microscopic.  A  few  of  moderate  size  are  known.  They 
are  generally  found  associated  with  Zircons,  Topaz  Magnetite, 
Platinum,  Iridium,  Chromite  and  Ilmenite.  Microscopic 
Diamonds  have  been  found  on  the  sea  beach  on  the  Coast 
of  Oregon  and  California,  in  washing  the  sands  for  the  gold 
they  contain.  They  are  sometimes  also  found  with  gold,  in  the 
sjuices  of  Hydraulic  mines. 

The  claim  of  the  Spring  Valley  Hydraulic  Mining  Company 
is  a  well  known  locality.     The   largest   stone    on    record,  was 


XXIV 


found  at  Forest  Hill,  El  Dorado  County;  it  Aveighed  S-j(yo% 
grains.  It  was  of  good  color,  but  was  defective.  Another 
notable  stone  was  found  at  Fiddletown,  Amador  County ;  its 
weight  was  3.tVo%  grains.  Four  other  Diamonds  are  known  to 
have  been  f  jund  at  this  locality. 

Another  Diamond  of  rather  large  size  was  found  at  Cherokee 
Flat,  Butte  County.  It  was  of  a  light  straw  color;  when  set  in  a 
ring  in  its  natural  state,  it  was  a  brilliant  and  beautiful  stone. 
At  least  forty  other  Diamonds,  mostly  of  small  size,  have  been 
found  at  this  locality. 

MISCELLANEOUS    MINERAL    PRODUCTS. 

There  are  other  mineral  products  of  the  Pacific  Coast  which 
have  great  economical  value,  and  which  have  been  worked 
more  or  less  extensivelyT  Among  the  more  important  of  these 
may  be  mentioned  the  following :  Asbestus,  Antimony,  Alum, 
Alkali,  Bismuth,  Building  Stones ;  including  many  varieties  of 
Marble,  Baryta,  Clays,  Cobalt,  Diatomaceous  Earth,  Graphite, 
Iridium,  Mica,  Manganese,  Natural  Paints,  Nickel,  Nitrate  of 
Soda,  Platinum,  Pyrites,  Steatite,  Sulphur  and  Slate. 

NEW   DISCOVERIES. 

The  Pacific  States  not  only  produce  large  quantities  of  the 
precious  and  useful  metals,  but  are  likely  to  continue  to  do  so. 
The  future  magnitude  of  the  mining  interest  can  scarcely  be 
overestimated.  There  seems  more  fear  of  an  over  production 
of  the  precious  metals  than  any  decrease  in  the  yield.  New 
discoveries  are  continually  being  made,  and  the  area  of  known 
mineral  territory  is  widely  extending.  What  California  and 
Nevada  have  done  in  the  production  of  gold  and  silver  is  likely 
to  be  repeated  in  Arizona  and  Mexico,  which  are  now  attracting 
the  attention  of  prospectors  and  capitalists.  The  ores  brought 
from  these  new  fields  are  wonderfully  rich,  and  it  only  remains 
to  prove  the  deposits  extensive.  If  this  should  be  the  case, 
there  will  be  a  flood  of  silver  poured  into  the  treasuries  of  the 
world,  which  may  upset  values,  as  the  discovery  of  gold  in  Cal- 
ifornia and  Australia  did  a  qqarter  of  a  century  ago.

This  and  the  next  three  which  follow,  are  part  of  a  sed- 
imentary formation,  in  which  the  silver  is  found  both  in  a 
free  state  and  in  the  form  of  chloride.  No  geological  exam- 
ination of  the  locality  has  been  made,  but  it  seems  to  be  an 
ancient  lake  or  shallow  sea,  into  which  streams  bearing  much 
sedimentary  matter  have  discharged.  It  is  not  easy  to  ac- 
count for  the  silver.  Specimens  will  be  furnished  to  those 
who  wish  to  study  them.  In  this  connection  see  No.  528. 
The  deposit  is  being  worked  extensively,  and  is  paying  hand- 
some dividends.
